PROCTOR, laughs insanely, then:A fire, a fire is burning! I hear the boot of Lucifer, I see his filthy face! And it is my face, and yours, Danforth! For them that quail to bring men out of...

!@#SPOILER ALERT#@!

That one guy from that one novel... The Great... something... hmm the name escapes me at the moment ;)

Also, Michael Valentine's death in Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land". He was such a...

...you're serious?

When Dune came out it was widely praised for elevating the science fiction genre by giving it new literary dimensions and standards. The prequels his son and Anderson wrote are...

Seven Years in Tibet by Heinrich Harrer. I found it to be very informative of the condition of Tibet before the Chinese assumed control in 1950

" I never said this to anybody because it sounds so goddamned pretentious, but I wanted to do The Lord of the Rings with an American background. It didn't come out that way, but I thought it would be...

Yeah, I just see Brian as being afraid to branch out and do his own thing, which to me shows that he isn't quite competent as a writer in his own right. I guess we'll never know though, because he...

Violin by Anne Rice. It said a lot of things that resonated with me but at times I wanted to just pawn the book off! She cries and is very self-indulgent in her style, but ultimately comes up with...

A Dune book you mean? Because they did write at least one book together that I know of that was unrelated to the Dune series, A Man of Two Worlds. I would be surprised but open to the fact that...

I don't think I can read Brian/Anderson's capitalistic travesties. I'm sure they aren't all bad but I would much rather have the raw notes in my hand (refer to J.R.R. Tolkien's son and the way he...

IMO - Decipher that, in my opinion, you don't have to feel the same way - The Stand tried way too hard to be epic literature. For one, the characters were weak. The only one I found myself caring...

I am REALLY sorry for bringing such an old topic up, but I had a really bad dream, and as I like the people on this board, and this is the only board I really go to, I was wondering if I could get...

"Hell doesn't exist, its just a place made up to scare you"

An entirely subjective question, but I must say I do enjoy it when the characters are believable and actually fit the profile of the sort of person they are supposed to be. I don't like Kevin Smith...

Science fiction has to have a scientific backing. Fantasy, on the other hand, plays with a set of less rigid rules. Dragons can appear out of nowhere and the only explanation needed is magic (if it...

Beautiful lyric. My great-grandmother is suffering from dementia, and what saddens me the most is that she can't remember any of us. She talks about death and God and such, to the point when...

Stephen King had been one of my favorite authors since I learnt to read, though my appreciation for his work has tapered off in the past few years. I enjoyed the first Dark Tower because of the...

Im shocked no one has mentioned Arthur C. Clarke yet (2001: A Space Odyssey, 2010, 2061, 3001, amongst others I have yet to read). I never really liked Sci-Fi until I read the space odyssey quartet,...

Yeah, obviously it is biased, but I would be interested in hearing someone counter that theory. It could in the least spark intelligent debate.

I think you chose the wrong board to put this on. I'm not saying it doesn't belong here, just that most people here probably dont have a very extensive scientific background. But I could be wrong,...

Just dont leave me there
"I wont" lied death to grandma
Death is very cruel

I remember reading that Nietzsche was a pretty proufound influence on Freud, in the editor's introduction to The Basic Writings of Nietzsche. Just thought I'd throw that in, I think saying that he...

I agree, sex is a natural impulse and love is a mysterious emotion, the two are not necessarily entwined. Sex can be about love, as some people refrain from the act until they know they are truly in...

I second that. My english teacher told us The Great Gatsby was about materialism, but he was a concieted, superficial ***, honestly. This sentence sums up one of the greater themes of Fitzgerald's...

I once had a dream that two of my friends started dating, then two weeks later they did. I'm sure I only had that dream because they had been acting unusually affectionate toward each other in the...
